B.B. King And His Diamond Ring Dazzlers
Friday, May 22nd, 2009He’s 83 years old and the years haven’t dimmed his musical genius. He still spends many days of the years on the road, doing what he enjoys most – lighting up his listeners’ lives with his incredible music. So much so that even though he has cut back on his touring and takes it easy now, he still feels more at home on a bus than anyplace else.
So it really should come as no surprise that when he had his interview with Mick Brown it should be on a bus. Of course the legend was his usual dapper self – with his famous diamond rings dazzling on his fingers, in a tux and bowtie and his gleaming patent leather shoes. The bus is actually a luxury home on wheels and today, it’s a far cry from the cotton fields of Delta. It’s been quite a journey but he isn’t calling it a day yet – not as long as he can make his wonderful music.
